(111,417 posts)Gomez might get in the way Snott Brown did. Brown was unable to hang onto the seat and Gomez will follow him out of office, especially since he is 10 times the nightmare Brown was.
The tragedy will be if Markey doesn't run against him again.

When the results from the more highly populated areas start coming in, the lead is going to go to Markey.
